The problem with the challenge is that one must provides a solution to the problem along with the problem. IOW, you must have a solver that can solve your input problem. Their challenge is a weaker equivalent to: there is a problem that hav

Congratulations! Things I've noticed: no way to get back to nocodeapi landing page once logged in. I am surprised that the list of big-names you give on your landing page rely on this because all users of nocodeapi have to trust you wi

Reading about his thoughts and opinions, it really makes it seems as if Posner only cared about his own opinion about matters, and not the actual laws. > As for text, Posner had little compunction about slipping around it. He took a dim

You are merely very hung up on nomenclature. They had to choose a keyword, they chose const. It's very common: people have mental models and pre-conception about what word means. From that point, when in a specific context where their

The problem, as far as AoC is concerned, is that Lisp tend to produce lisp-like DSL, so won't match AoC specs. Then again AoC specs are simple enough that you can still get away with using Lisp. Obviously, the OP targeted their languag

The flaw in your argument is the implied presumption that Latin preserve all information for languages that have always used the Latin alphabet. For some language it is closer to truth, like Spanish and German, which mostly are pronounced l

Spending your customer deposit that are legally off-limits, and that he said were off-limit, on things like houses, properties, etc for your own self and family is not a straight-up admission of wrong doing? Since when breaking and entering

So.... they could have mostly fixed it by increasing the cache timeout? No code changes, just increase the timeout. The real lesson is to really know your system and how it behaves. They ran a profiler, but in the call stack they did not se

This doesn't solve the problem of wanting to redo from another "do history branch" while preserving the changes you've done in your current history branch. Using the notation of the article, you have done: A -> B -&gt

Squash commit will squash everything done into a single commit, so reverting it is easier . Also when you have to cherry-pick fixes into an older release branch, you get to fully appreciate squashed merges. If you did not squash, you need

I fail to see what anything you state has to do with rebasing. Rebasing ensures all commits from a feature branch are contiguous. Rebasing + squash ensures the main branch is not polluted with a myriad of useless intermediate commits no one

Syntax and layout ware worth yet a few more orders of magnitude of words. But that argument has slipped past LISPers forever. I'll just let them keep scratching their heads why Python got so popular when LISP was around for so long and

You're saying this as if VC were some natural phenomenon and not people. VC are people, VC i one of those things that are mostly only people. Those people choose to use financial vehicules and strategies that are not ethical.

You are claiming that if your product A does not have feature X that could make it faster, it is okay to claim that your product A is faster than product B by hampering B under the impediment of not using X? "My database A is is faster

I do wonder if it is possible to truly be certain code runs in constant-time. The problem is that modern CPU translate their instruction set into internal micro-code. For example, the x86 CMOVE instruction (conditional move) could potential

I don't get your characterization. The statically sized arrays can never be fully used? That is doubtful. I suppose that if data X and only ever used 1:1 with data Y and you got a Y, then you are guaranteed to have an X, but that requi

One of the first claim of the article is plainly false. Static allocation does not avoid use-after-free. It just avoids accessing freed memory. You can still have bugs and access dead data in those static arrays that are really dead object

There are many suit and claims against Paypal. Most of them are settled out of court. Many are exactly about account freezing. The fact that one went to court but was dismissed does not prove that Paypal does not engage in bad bahaviour. It

The author claims pruning soft-deleted entries requires a complex query, but hard-deleting an entry would have required the same complexity. So it's really not an argument.
